The trio look great Rick!  Wow, you're completing three models in the time it takes me to complete one!   Nicely done.

Best,

Really fun and inspiring to see you beavering away on your SPAD trio, Rick. These are looking super!

You really are motoring with these Rick. All three are of the very highest standard and look super - I am having problems keeping up with you - totally breathless!!

Thanks to All for the very Nice comments! Today I worked on some Vickers Guns but couldn't resist getting one of the three on it's legs  I did sand a bit on the struts to at least round them off a bit.

Thanks Andreas. Yes the kit wheels straight from the box. I do have a set of wheels for the Luke bird included with the Aviattic Legends set. Rickenbackers will also be from the kit.

Lovely work Rick, that scheme is looking magical. What a great tribute to a wonderful, heroic pilot. You're doing both him and yourself proud!

Hopefully the No1 masks will turn up in the post soon so you can crack on with the mount of the great American adventurer too.

As always Thanks Richie for the continued encouragement! I just went to the Mail Box and the Stencils are in Hand. They Look Awesome!!! Thank You so Much for the Help!

That is good news, I'm so looking forward to seeing them used. To lift the stencil all in one piece I put a piece of masking tape across all the component parts. The lovely thing about the this masking material is that if you buff the edges with a cocktail stick you can clearly see if it has adhered properly. Can't wait to see the results!

Here you go Richie: I did adjust the red outline a bit with tape. Worked like a charm!

Thank You for your Assistance!


I also got the gear and wheels on the Luke Machine!

RAGIII,
The weekend is upon us and I'm sure you'll entertain the masses with the next stage of this build.

                                                                         They're looking great,
                                                                                                        Kevin
